  • Publication number: 20240118509
    Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes a cable core of core elements and a protective sheath surrounding the core elements, an armor surrounding the cable core, the armor comprising a single overlap portion when the fiber optic cable is viewed in cross-section, and a jacket surrounding the armor, the jacket having at least two longitudinal discontinuities extruded therein. A method of accessing the cable core without the use of ripcords includes removing a portion of the armor in an access section by pulling the armor away from the cable core so that an overlap portion separates around the cable core as it is being pulled past the cable core. A protective sheath protects the core elements as the armor is being pulled around the cable core.

  • Patent number: 11709663
    Abstract: Specific images of an OS are built using only the driver bindings that are necessary to link the OS to the particular hardware of a client device. A device tree of the client device is analyzed to identify the hardware components. Databases of different hardware source code for various hardware drivers are maintained and used to craft the driver bindings and instances for the hardware of the client device. The device tree is also analyzed to identify compatibility strings of the various hardware on the client device. The hardware source code is searched for these compatibility strings to see if a driver exists in the databases of hardware source code. Specific driver bindings and driver instances with the actual variable names and configuration parameters of the identified hardware drivers are then generated and included in an image of the OS that may be installed on the client device.

  • Publication number: 20190282895
    Abstract: A method for controlling an interactive experience includes receiving local control inputs at a computing device facilitating the interactive experience and providing the local control inputs to the interactive experience, the control inputs being provided by a first input device associated with a primary experience participant. Audiovisual content associated with the interactive experience is provided to a plurality of remote viewer computing devices over a network. The computing device receives a command to initiate control sharing with a remote viewer and, over the network, receives remote control inputs from a second input device associated with the remote viewer, the second input device being physically distinct from the first input device. The remote control inputs are provided to the interactive experience as if the remote control inputs had originated from the first input device, the first input device still being associated with the primary experience participant.

  • Patent number: 10200768
    Abstract: A method for low-latency streaming of audio and video via a mobile computing device to facilitate a high-quality, real-time interactive streaming experience. The method includes receiving an application audio stream generated by execution of an application program, an application video stream generated by execution of the application program, a microphone audio stream, and a camera video stream. The application audio stream and the microphone audio stream are mixed to produce a mixed audio stream. The application video stream and the camera video stream are composited to produce a composited video stream. The mixed audio stream is encoded to produce an encoded audio stream, and the composited video stream is encoded to produce an encoded video stream. The encoded audio and video streams are packaged into one or more streaming packets, and output, to a remote computing device.
